'Throw a fake': Rudy Giuliani reveals to FBI how he used Fox News to push lies about Hillary Clinton

Just ahead of the 2016 election, former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told the nation in a Fox News interview that the Trump campaign had a "big surprise" regarding the ginned-up Hillary Clinton email controversy. The former New York City mayor even went so far as to suggest that the FBI had been leaking info about the agency's probe directly to Giuliani for Trump's political gain.

But according to a newly released 2018 transcript of Giuliani's interview with Justice Department investigators probing a potential leak, it all appears to have been a complete lie.

Giuliani explained to federal officials that it's OK to "throw a fake" while campaigning.

The revelation, first reported by The Washington Post, stems from a transcript obtained by the Project on Government Oversight of Giuliani's 2018 interview with federal officials in Trump's D.C. hotel.

Weiner's/wife laptop was no fake. Coming eleven days before the election, it changed the history of the nation.

And Rudy's name was connected to that as he had connections to the NY FBI field office. He even predicted before Comey's letter in a televised interview that a big surprise was coming.

IMO the "it's okay to throw a fake" was a CYA move and that he really was involved.
